I had one of these!

But back to the subject of commercialisation... I hate how they jack up the price of goats this time of year. 'cos I need like.... at LEAST six.

Bah... Call yourself traditional... My solstice celebrations are OLD school. Like, 8000 years old school. The coolest part is, there's like... 20 other deities to choose from, and most of them are bang up for proper feasting, a good old fashioned orgy and/or the obligatory virgin sacrifice. Now that's motherf*ckin' festive. Two small problems I'm encountering: 1. Lack of virgins. 2. Not having much luck finding Saturnalian carols.

wut Shopping centres do all that shite to lull boring suburbanites into a warm fuzzy festive spendy spendy mood...

My grandmother breaks this stereotype. The manner in which she applies throttle is best described as 'non-linear'

We're just misunderstood geniuses.

Oh.... Hello.

I hear ya. I mean, the notes stick to your skin, but the coins are too hard to dive into. Its a never ending paradox. Its got to the point now I'm considering putting it all in a bank instead of the money pit. Crazy right?

You can change the rad support if you're anally retentive and enjoy making unnecessary work for yourself... Otherwise, read on... Rip the slanty front off, line up the quad buckets, drill holes. You'll need to elongate the existing holes in the support (by about 3cm) to plug in the outer headlights. That's it. As you can see, everything lines up just fine.

Heh... You'd be amazed what I've held together with that gunk... It binds the fabric of the universe

Find a hill and try to drive up it in reverse. If it shudders, clutch is gone. But If the pedal is loose I'd also say cable.

Long time no see, Mr. Mike...

So, there was this eclipse thing today, and fortunately for me, Cairns was the only place on the planet to view it in full. Pictures fail to do it justice. Truly and literally breathtaking. You can see the moon progressing across the sun, slowly covering it, but the ambient light doesn't change much. Then suddenly (in like, seconds) BAM its dark. Like when they turn the lights down in a movie theatre. There is still some light... But instead of the full spectrum you're left with only the wavelengths from the corona and solar prominences, and the moon's edge has a red ring. Everything becomes deathly silent... Birds, insects etc, and the wind picks up. Its the most bizarre experience. The light is what strikes you the most though. So surreal. Anyhoo, pics. Taken by a friend who happens to be a professional. (Slightly better gear than my SGII) Before (partial, bonus bird for atmosphere) During (Totality) First rays after totality There's probably a zillion pics and vids on the net by now, there's something like 100 thousand extra people in town right now from all over the world. Including some dudes from NASA and a whole bunch of celebrities, for some reason. Met Cameron Diaz on the beach this morning. She got old, man... Old. /Shady
